HR 8788: Let Kids Play Act

The Let Kids Play Act prohibits private equity firms and their affiliates from investing in or engaging in specific harmful practices within the youth sports industry. It defines "vulture practices" as actions that extract profit by imposing excessive debt, raising prices, cutting jobs, or restricting access to essential services and competing platforms. To operate in this sector, these firms must obtain certification from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice proving they have never engaged in such behaviors and will not do so in the future. If a firm is designated as a vulture investor, it is required to divest its ownership stakes, return assets, refund fees, and forgive debts owed to the community and employees. The bill also establishes a Youth Sports Fund to receive disgorged funds for reducing participation costs and supporting local sports programs.

HR 8776: Officer Wellness and Peer Support Act of 2026

The Officer Wellness and Peer Support Act of 2026 directs the Attorney General to submit a report on strategies for improving mental health support for law enforcement officers. This report, due within 270 days of enactment, will outline best practices for reducing mental health stigma, encouraging access to counseling and screening, and ensuring the confidentiality of these services. The requirement involves consulting with various law enforcement agencies, professional organizations, and mental health groups to gather input. Additionally, the bill defines "law enforcement officer" broadly to include police, corrections, probation, parole, and judicial officers. Ultimately, the legislation mandates the collection of information and recommendations rather than establishing new federal programs or funding.

HRES 1259: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should prioritize securing the release of Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and Jimmy Lai detained by the People’s Republic of China during future engagements with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

This resolution calls upon the President to prioritize the humanitarian release of five specified individuals (Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and Jimmy Lai) and others unjustly detained by China during future engagements with China's President Xi Jinping. The resolution also (1) urges the President to seek verifiable proof of life, access to independent legal counsel, family communication, and medical care for these detainees; and (2) reaffirms the U.S. commitment to defending political and religious freedom and advocating for the release of those unjustly detained for exercising such fundamental freedoms.

HR 8754: No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act

The No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act mandates that the Department of Homeland Security immediately grant Members of Congress access to immigration detention facilities for oversight purposes. This legislation requires all federal contractors operating these facilities to certify that their staff are trained to comply with these access rules and allows the department to cancel contracts with entities that fail to do so. By defining "without delay" as immediate admission, the bill ensures that lawmakers can inspect facilities without waiting outside or providing prior notice. Ultimately, the law aims to uphold congressional authority to monitor the humane treatment and civil rights of detainees within these centers.

SJRES 163: A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran that lack explicit congressional authorization, asserting Congress's constitutional war-declaring power. The measure applies only to ongoing military engagements within or against Iran and does not restrict defensive actions against attacks on the United States or its personnel. It permits continued intelligence gathering and defensive support for partner nations attacked by Iran since late February 2026, while requiring a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for any future offensive military operations.

HRES 1179: Condemning attacks on civilians in Sudan and calling for an end to external support to the warring parties and for efforts to promote a negotiated settlement of the war.

This House resolution condemns the ongoing civil war in Sudan and calls for an end to external support provided to the warring parties, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. It urges the Trump Administration to stop supplying weapons or other assistance to these groups and to negotiate a peaceful settlement that restores democratic governance. The bill also highlights the severe humanitarian crisis affecting millions of people and demands that aid workers be granted safe, unrestricted access to deliver essential supplies. Additionally, it calls on the international community to support post-conflict reconstruction and establish a justice mechanism to hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable.

SJRES 154: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Equal Credit Opportunity (Regulation B); Revocations or Unfavorable Changes to the Terms of Existing Credit Arrangements".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection rule that would remove protections against revoking or changing existing credit terms under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The bill directly affects lenders and financial institutions by preventing the agency from withdrawing the regulations that currently restrict how they can modify credit agreements. If enacted, the rule would have no legal effect, maintaining the existing framework that limits unfavorable changes to credit arrangements without borrower consent. The measure requires congressional approval to allow the agency to proceed with the withdrawal.

SJRES 127: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Fair Credit Reporting; File Disclosure".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would have withdrawn a previous regulation concerning Fair Credit Reporting and File Disclosure. The bill directly affects the Bureau's ability to remove the earlier rule and would prevent the withdrawal from taking legal effect if passed. It uses the Congressional Review Act process to formally reject the agency's action, ensuring the original Fair Credit Reporting rule remains in place. The measure is introduced in the Senate and would require approval from both chambers and the President to become law.

SJRES 126: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (Regulation F); Time-Barred Debt".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would have withdrawn a previous regulation on time-barred debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. If passed, the resolution would prevent the Bureau from removing the existing rules that govern how debt collectors handle debts that are past their legal statute of limitations. The measure directly affects debt collection practices and the regulatory framework overseen by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. It uses the Congressional Review Act process to formally reject the agency's proposed regulatory change.

It allocates $1.8 million annually for each of the fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to support these educational and partnership initiatives. The legislation also emphasizes professional military education, civilian oversight of the military, and human rights protections within Greece's armed forces.
